    [QUOTE]To be honest I was getting mixed advice, so adding an ammonia source made the most sense.[QUOTE]

    I don't mean to come off frustrated but everyone on this thread including me has said NOT to add anymore shrimp.

    Yea like I said before DO NOT ADD ANYTHING TO YOUR TANK. Let it cycle on its own. There is no "peak" for ammonia. Sometimes if there is little die off your cycle wont be that big and if there is alot then it will be bigger. All you are doing to your tank is causing your tank to cycle over again by adding another shrimp. Just leave your tank alone for 3 or 4 weeks and let it do its thing. I know its hard and you are really excited but the worst thing you can do in this hobby is rush things. Take your time this hobby demands patience for success. Trust me after it cycles and you take your time the reward will be very good. DO NOT ADD ANYTHING ELSE!
